NCECA 2016 – Makers, Mentors and Milestones reflects on the past, present and future of art and learning with clay.
NCECA has chosen Kansas City, Missouri and the surrounding region was recently selected as site of the 50th Annual Conference of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts. The conference will take place March 16-19, 2016 at the Kansas City Convention Center, 301 West 13th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64105.
The 2016 conference theme, NCECA – MAKERS, MENTORS AND MILESTONES will explore the personal, social and aesthetic forces that animate creative work with elemental materials, methods and ideas in the midst of the information age. On-site Conference Liaisons working on behalf of NCECA’s members and board of directors in the greater Kansas City region are Paul Donnelly, Assistant Professor of Ceramics at the Kansas City Art Institute and Amy Duke, Public Programs and Visitor Experience Manager for the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Their enthusiasm for the impact of arts, culture and community engagement are integral to NCECA’s model for conference development. Donnelly and Duke share, “By design, the [NCECA] conference is integrated into the fabric of the city and will create a ripple effect across state lines and the entire region through an extensive series of exhibitions and programs to meet every interest. On this milestone anniversary, NCECA will enrich the greater Kansas City community by bringing people together in myriad ways to celebrate the ceramic arts in its many forms.”
